Did you happen to notice the shadow as it approached over the

I was staying with the in-laws in Cornwall for the 1999 eclipse. The sky was totally overcast but that made the effect even more noticeable as the black wall of shadow swept towards us. I was surprised how dark it became. The street lights came on automatically.
